CORRESPONDENCE.
LDeferred from last wcelc]
Sunday morning, December 12th, Rev.
Mr. Hamilton of the First Congregational
church, gave a very logical discourse, por-
traying in a clear, concise, practical manner,
the requisite qualifications that constitute a
consistent Christian character; taking the
Bible as the basis of. the true standard, giv-
ing due attention to the church creed, some
minds having been exercised in regard
to it, this sermon served to dispel the
clouds that obscure it, and rendering
the church more attractive to those lately
entered within the fold, suppressing that
growing spirit of narrow—mindedness, that
clothes oneself in the dry husks of forms
and creeds, that serve in the letter but lack
in the true spirit. By way of illustration he
referred briefly to the abstemious life of
Epicurds, and yet so inyerted, that Epicures
derive the title from him, no farther removed
than many Christians of 'to-day, who 1bear~ l
the name but in their lives ignore it's t’rilef
meaning. Mr. Hamilton seems thoroughly.
aroused to the spiritual wants of the church,
and though fully appreciated and firmly es-
tablished in the affections of his people, over
which he has presided the past seven years,
yet there seems to be a lack of Christian
sympathy, that binds together in love and
charity these that have promised to come
out from the world and be separate.

Nineteen Dislillcrl‘es Crushed out
Missionary Emory, of the American Sun--
daySchool Union, and an earnest temperance
worker in East Tennessee, has been greatly
cheered by a letter from a Union Sunday-
'sehool having sixty members, which runs
thus: “All the ‘still—houses"thst used to an-_
my and vex us have disappeared, and now
the outlook is good. With the help of God,
the prayers of the church, and the ail of the
American Sunday-School Union, I think we
shall succeed. But it will be hard for us to
raise money for Sunday-school supplies.
We are among ‘hard—shell,’ whiskey-drink—
ing people, who never have money for any-
thing but whiskey, which costs more now
when they have to go into F—County for
it.” (Nineteen distilleries were broken up in
the county in which the writer lives.) One
preacher who ran a distillery is here yet and
.not converted, but he is crushed out. He
was in jail eighteen months, but that did not
convert him. But three of the worst whis—
key men we had are now active in our Sun—
day-school."
This missionary organized eight Sunday—
schools in his last month’s work—Temper-
ance Banner. -
Missionary Emory, of-‘the American Sun—
day School Union, in Tennesee, reports eight
new schdols organized, and a number of
destitute schools visited and aided; three
county Sunday School conventions attended,
and also the annual East Tennessee Sunday
School convention. To this convention over
six hundredschools sent reports, showing a
much greater advance in Bible schools than
in any previous year. Mr. Emory has
encouraging letters from all parts of his
field, such as this: "We have organized a
Union Sunday School with fifty members.
All the still-houses that used to annoy and
vex us have disappeared from this county;
yet we are among whiskey drinking people,
who never have money for anything but
whiskey, which now costs more, as they have
to go into another county for it; so it is
hard work to raise money for Sunday
Schools; but the outlook is‘good, and with
prayer and .wurk, and. with Ihe help of God
and of the Ann-.ricnn Sunday School Union,
I think we sigh succeed. O..e preacher who
la!) a (list-111(1). is crushed our, and has been
in jail eighteen months, but is not yet con-
verted. But three of the worst whiskey
men we had are now in our Sunday School,
and active in its -interests."—Sunday School

Captain John S. Wise, defeated readj uster

likely to get into serious trouble if be con-
tinues writing. letters in which he uses
such expressions asthe followingz—"I be-

solidify the North and defeat Hancock
' than did the whole array of northern speak-
ers. It isa pity such men were not killed

long as it does we are whipped. I was in a
small way a confederate soldier, and while
I would not stultify my record for the wealth

Hampton was a fool when he said we were
“fighting for the ,same principles for which
we fought under Lee and Jackson.” It is
not true in any sense. We fought for south-
ern independence and for slavery under it.
I would not fight for either again, and would
regard either as a- great calamity to our
people. This I am sure is the sentiment of.
ninety nine hundredths of our people.” _
The old cafe-concert, since demolished for
enlargement of the boulevard Saint-German,
was very popular with the students of the
Latin—quarter. But at one period the stu-
dents quarrelled with the proprietor, and the
latter refusing to make amends or apologies
became an object of bitter warfare. The
students declared that they would not allow
a single artist to sing until the proprietor
yielded to thgir demands. For three whole
months it was impossible to hear a single
note sung on the stage, because 6f the uproar,
oat-calls and racket of the students. Never-
theless the hall was always crowded and the
proprietor had no cause to complain. One
night the students planned to omit the usual
hubbub until the middle of the performance.
'Ehe artistes were stupefled and the proprietor
was at his wits' ends. The first singer ad—
vanced to the footlights, remained with
mouth wide open unable to utter a sound.

In a new electric battery, one of the ele-

ten thousandth part of an inch in thickness.
The sources of petroleum are found in
almost every part of the globe, and the use
of the article would seem well-nigh coeval
with civilization. There is a spring in one
of the Ionian Islands which has yielded
petroleum more than two thousand years.
The city of Genoa was formerly lighted by
oil from the wells of Armenia, on the banks
of the Zero. In Persia, also, near the Cas-
pian Sea at Baku, numerous springs of pc-
troleum have been known from the CETII‘EI
lime; and those of Rangoon, on the Irawad-
dy,’ are said to have yielded before the gen-
eral introduction of petroleum, some 400,000
hogsheads of oil a year.
Sir W 3 ville Thompson, in whose charge

remarkable hiol -gierII result of_the. work of

of the. fact that, contrary to the established
belief, the distribution of living beings in
the sea has no depth limit, but that animals
of all the marine invertebrate classes, and
probably fishes also, exist over the whole
floor of the ocean. He is unw'lling to speak
positively as to the exact nature of the life
existing at the greatest depths, but from a
depth of some two thousand fathoms speci—
mens were secured proving the existence of
a vast and varied assemblage of living
inhabitants more than two and a quarter
miles beneath the surface.
One of the leading chemical manufactorirs
of Germany employs six-regular chemists,
with salaries varying from $1,500 to $2,500
yearly, and in addition engages the services
of an eminent chemist for theoretical work
exclusively, paying him nearly $10,000 per
annum. It is doubtless to this liberal patron-
Ege of qualified scientists that the superiority
of German chemical manufactures is due.
During a late visit to solar observatory at
Mendon, Prof. Bell was much interested in
M. Jausgn’s splendid photographs, and
expressed the opinion that the variations of
brightness of a given solar point might make
the photophone speak, and so reproduce in
the laboratory sounds produced on the sun.
M. Jahssen put his instruments at Prof. Bell's
disposal, and the experiment was made on
'afine day,but without distinct success. M.
iIanssen has proposed that a series of succes—
sive photographs of a particular point on the
sun’s surface be passed rapidly before an
objective, giving images on the selenium

According to Dr: Edward Smith, an egg
:contains fifteen and one-fourth per cent. of
barbon and two per cent of nitrogen. An-
other writer estimates that the value of one
pound of eggs, as food for sustaining the ac-
tive forces of the body, is to the value of
one pound of lean beef as 1584 lo 900. As
a flesh producer one pound of eggs is about
equal to one pound of beef.

; Beauty in Dress.
Mrs. Haweis, in a volume entitled. “The
Art of Beauty,” makes the following points
with regard to beauty in dress:
" “The reason that an ordinary low neck with
short sleeves look worse in black than in
any other: color is because the hard line
round the bust1and arms is too great a contrast
to the skin. A low neck always lessons the
height and a dark dress made thus lessens
it still more, and it strikes the artistic eye as
cutting the body in pieces, in this way ; if
you see a fair person dressed in a low dark‘
dress standing against a light background
some way off, the effect Will be that of an
empty dress hung up, the face, neck and
arms being scarcely discernable. On the
Other hand, against a dark background
the head and bust will be thrown up
sharply, and the whole dress and body
will disappear. This effect, common
enough, is eXecrany bad. If you must wear
a low black bodice, let it be cut square,
giving the height of the shoulders (or, bet-
ter, with the angles rounded, for corners are
very trying), and have plenty of white or
pale gauze or thin black not to soften the
harsh line between the skin and the dress.
White gauze or lace softens down the black—
ness of the dress at the edge of the bodice,
and thin black stuff has an equally good ef—
fect, as it shades the whilenessof the skin
into the dark color of the gown. Only under
these conditions does the sudden contrast en-
.hance, as some persons suppose, the fairness
of the complexion. .
“Short women should never wear double
skirts or topics—they decrease the height so
much—unless, indeed, the tunic is very short
and the skirt very long. So also do large,
sprawling patterns used for trimmings; let
these be left to women tall enough to carry
them off. Neither let a very little woman
wear her hair half down her back; let her lift
it clean up as high as possible.
“Large feet should never be cased in kid—J
least of all white kid slippers—for kid reveals
so clearly the form and movements of the
feet, and. stretches so easily that few feet
have a chance in them. '
“Those who are very stout should/wear
nothing but black; those who are very thin
should put a little padding in their gowns;
and neither should be in the least decollelee.
Perpendicular stripes in dresses give height
and increase fulness, and are therefore par-
ticularlysulted to very slight, small people,
and particularly unfitted for stout figures.”
How to Be Nobody.
It is easy to he nobody, and we will tell
you how to do it. Go to the drinking saloon
to spend your leisure lime, You need not
drink much'now, just a little beer or some
other drink. In the meantime, play domi-
noes, or something else to kill time, so that
you will not be sure to read any useful books.
It“ you read anything, let it be the cheap nov-
els of the day ; thus go on keeping your stom -
ach full, and your head empty, and yourself
playing time-killing games, and in a few
years you will be nobody, unless you should
turn out a druhkard or a professional gam—
bler, either of which 'imorse than nobody.
There are a number of young men hanging
about bar parlors just ready to graduate and
be nobodies,—-Yonkera Gazette.

MARRIED IN MIDSTREAM AND IN 'rmr. RAIN,
WHILE THE INFURIATED FATHER axons
UPON THE SHORE. .
r A Harrisburg, Va., special to the Cincin.
nati Gazette tells the following story: Intel—
ligence has just been received here of a mar-
riage which took place under the most
thrilling and extraordinary circumstances
ever known in Virginia. It seems that for
some months past Mr. Reed, 8. young planter
living about twenty miles from here, has
been in love witthiss Carrie Shoup, a bean-
tiful and petite blonde, aged only sixteen. the
daughter of the celebrated Captain J. C.
Shoup, the daring scout of the army of
Northern Virginia during the war. The
father. of the young (lady objected to her
suitor, who was but twenty years old. The
ardent lover, however, had made up his
mind that he would marry the object of his
affection, despite the old soldier‘s objection.
The young lady secretly smiled on him, and
the father, learning the state of affairs dc—
cided to send Miss Shoup to Missouri to stay
with her relatives, hoping thereby to break
off the affair between the young people.
The young lady received very composedly
the parental command to pack her trunks and
get ready for the long trip. If she wept at
being severed from her lover, it was in
secret. It was arranged that she should cross
the river near Harper’s Ferry. and take the
train at an adjacent station. Captain Shoup
decided to let the grandfather of the young
lady accompany her to Missouri, and afte:
seeing her safe in charge of her relatives
there, to return. The three reached tile
cross in a large flat boat used there for ferry-
ing passengers. In one corn. of the boat
was a sandy—haired, benevolent looking gen-
tleman, with a sort of clerical cut coat, and
near him was a bundle of something rolled
up in ablauket. The bundle was Mr. Wil-
IiamlRecd, the lover. The grandfather got
on the boat first, and helped on the young
lady, who left her shawl on the bank. Just
as the captain was ahoutno follow them, she
called out, "Papa, I have left my shawl,”
and the father went back to get it. The
grandfather jumped forw-rrrd, cut the cable,
called to the boatmen to heave hearty at
their oars, and they did. When the father
got to the brink of the river the boat was
fifty yards in the lnidst of the stream. The
blanket assumed an animated appearance,
and the lover jumped up and clasped the
hand of his faithful one. Then the clerical
looking gentleman stepped forward. The
oarsmen rested on their cars.
joined hands while the accommodating
Hardshell Baptist minister pronounced the
twain man and wife. The infuriated father
stood on the shore and stamped his feet and
wrung his hands in impotent rage, and as
the minister pronounced the final blessing
the father‘pronounced his final curse. The
grandfather looked on the ceremony as a
smiling witness, and was the first to kiss the
bride. The marriage took place with the
rain pouring down on the contracting par—
ties, and the .scene was beautiful and re.
mobile in the extreme. Mr. and Mrs. Reed
crossed to the other side of the river, and
later in the (lay returned, having first sent
Ihe grandfather over to conciliute the irate
father. The old scout sWUre he was‘dmze
with his (laughter, but finally relented, and
gave his blessing, “for," said be, “it is the
first time any woman or man has Checkma-
led me.”
The Truth.
Now that election has paSSed, no one
feelings can, or ought to be hurt, by our
copying the following description of the
democratic party by Horace Greeley, who
headed the democratic presidential ticket
only eight years ago. Speaking of the dem-
ocratic party Mr. Greeley says:
Every one who chooses to live by pugilism
or gambling or harlotry, with nearly every
keeper of a rippling house, is politically a
democrat. -
If there were not a newspaper nor common
school in the country, the democratic party
would be far stronger than it is.
The essential article of the democratic
creed (are) love rum and hate higgers. The
less one learns and knows the more certain
he is to vote the regular ticket from A to
Izzard. . -
We thereupon ask our contempoary to
state frankly whether the pugiists, blacklegs
thieves, burglars, keepers of dens of prosti-
tution, etc., etc., are'not almost unanimously
democrats.
' To smoke is a democratic virtue ; 'to chew
is that virtue intensified ; to drink rum is that
virtue in the superlative.
A purely selfish interest attaches the ler,
rufiianly, criminal, and dangerous classes to
the democratic party.
This would amount to six in a bed ex:

cratic couch in the State of New York
including those at Sing Sing and Auburn.
All do know that there are several hun—
dred thousand mulattoes in the country, and
we presume no one has any serious doubt
that the fathers of at least nine—tenths of
them are white democrats. And we are told
that those democrats, if they will have yel-
low children, might better than otherwise
have the mothers respectfully as wives, after
the laudable pattern of that eminent demo—
crat, Vice—President, Richard M. Johnson.
The brain, the heart, the soul of the
democratic party is the rebelvelement at the
South with its northern allies and sympa—
thizerslt is rebel at the core to day.It would
come into power with the hate, the chagrin,
the wrath, the mortificatfbn of ten better
years to impel and guide it steps. Whatever
chastisemcnt may be deserved for our na-
tional sins, we must hope that this disgrace
and humiliation be spared us.
For the last thirty years every American
slaveholder on the African coast has ac~
counted himself in politics a. democrat. So
every one who chooses topive by pugilism ’or
gambling or harlotry, with every keeper of a
tippling house, is politically a democrat. He
believes in "lazlrsez fuz‘rc”—that the world is‘
governed too much; that the best govern-
mcnt is that which r verns least. He wants
“his trade to move thout restriction." He
joyfully subscribes to the World, and echoes
its cry, “Let the people eat, drink and amuse
themselves as they see fit, so long as they do
not infrinre on the same liberty in others.”
Point wherever you please to an election
district which you will pronounce morally
rotten, given up in great part to debauchery
and vice, whose voters subsist mainly by
keeping policy~offices, gamblinghouses, grog-
shops, and darker dens of infamyfitnd that
district will be found at nearly or quite every
election giving a majority for that which
styles itself the democratic, party. Take all
the haunts of. debauchery in the land and
you will find nine-tenths of the master spirits
active partisans of that same democracy.
What is the instinct, the sympathetic chord
which attaches them so uniformly to this
party. Will you consider. "

ax OLD BLUE ranxx AND I'rs onlL-rr sava-
' LATIONS. -
Thurlow Weed to a New York Correspondent
When I knew Burr best he was well ad—
vanced in years. He was one of the worst
men that ever lived. He had no scruples
whatever about ~beti'aying- a woman, and he
chose the loveliest in the land for the victims.
About the time of this dual he had disgrace"
fui intrigues with a dozen or twenty ladies
at once in New York, Albany, New Haven,
Providence, Boston, Baltimore, Richmond;
and smaller towns between. Some of these
were kept upfor years, but most of the ladies
lrad speedy successors. I speak of them as
"ladies".—they were wives of brilliant law-
yers or wealthy merchants, or the young .
daughters of the fashionable old families.
There was an agony of fear among these
when the duel was fought, lest the guilty
gallant should fall and their terrible secret
be betrayed, and this fear deepened to con—
aternation when he died at last. Many of '
the oldest families of New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New England trembled then: And
well they might. It had been rumored around
that Burr neVer had destroyed letters from
Indies. And this shows better than anything
else his lack of any moral sense whatever—
for he refused to protect those whom he ha. (I
grieviously injured, when they could have
been protected‘without a moment's thought.
He used to boast that he had never dc—
stroy ed one letter. And with'devlish method
he had folded them carefully, and
filed them regularly in packages—each lady’s
letters by themselves, When Burr died at
last, Matthew L. Davis, about his only friend
who became his administrator, sent for
me, I went over. There was nothing to
administer, but the expressions of tenderness
which the scoundrel had cajoled from rc—
spectable women and filed away. There was
the will which he made the day before his
duel with Hamilton. In ”that he had said to
his daughter, Theodosia, his only legitimate
child, then at sea: "In a blue trunk in the
attic you will find something to amuse, more
to instruct, and still more to regret"- That
blue trunk which he thus coolly bequeathed
to his only child, and that child a lovely
daughter, contained the carefully tre'asured
love-letters, from a closet: women at a time,
proofs ofher father’s depravity! Does not
that show that Burr was without any moral
sense whatever? Theodosia was swallowed
up by the waves, and never saw the blue
trunk. . _ '
We opened the blue trunk, which Davis
had partly examined, and I shall never
forget my astonishment and disgust of what
Isaw. It was nearly full of letters from
Women, filed in packages. We looked at the
individual lettas- Most of them originally
had been signed with initials only, or oftener
without any name, orwith some pet name ;
but Burr, with a maiignity whose motive I
cannot even yet understand, had written out
each name in full. He seemed resolved that
others should share his infamy. Some of the
names belonged to the moft honored families
In the land—to have revealedthem would
have been to cause terrible anguish, and in
several bases probably the breaking up of
families- I used to go over and look at them
when I had a spare hoirr. They were
smelly guarded by Davis.‘ He was a queer,
man,- but he had a. high sense of personal
honor. Why, Mordécai M. Noah offered
Davis $20,000 for that blue trunk and its
contents, but, of ecurse, the offer was
spurned and the insult resented. Matthew
Davis, too, had his cccentricities and
one of his queer notions in regard to these
captured love-letters ,was that .they should
be returned to the writers I That seemed to
me to lnfllct needless pain, and I argued with
him about It, but he said the writers would
be better satlsfied If they had a chance to de-
stroy them themselves. Some of them were
old ladies then, mothers and grandmothers,
but Davis undertook the grim_task of return-
ing all the packages of letters by the hands
of trusty friends. A good many he gave
back himself. He gave me one of these del-
icate packages to deliver, when I was going
to Providence one day, but I told him I would
see him hanged first. But I know that Gen.
Scott did accept one of these packages from
Matthew Davis, and returned it, with his own
hand, to a lady high in society in Richmond.
He told me so. I always wondered whether
she thanked him or not, but I forgot to ask
him. But think of the moral natureofaman
capable of deliberately leaving all those let-
ters‘to his own daughter as a legacy l Burr
was quite a small man. Very graceful in
movement and courteous in demeancr. A
small hand and foot. Not spirited or dashing
at all, but his manner was full of repose,ahd
his voice was soft and musical. He would
strike one at first as being slightly effemi-
write, but he was not so; he was a bold,
strong, capable man. In conversation till
the last ten years of his life, he was brilliant.
But, to return to the,subject of his wicked-
ness toward women. . When he was in
England, he was greatly assisted and be-
friended by a learned professor of Oxford
University, whose name I must not mention.
In return for this friendship, Burr ruined his
wife. Six years afterward Burr obtained a
position for this professor in a New York
college, for obvious reasons, and when they
came over to this city Burr also seduced
their daughter, a lovely girl of seventeen,
whose confidence he had won when she was
a little girl, during his visit to England. In
due time the professor died, and Burr Wear.
a penniless outcast. Then this mother and
daughter, ,instead of hating and spurniug
him, took him and supported him during
his last years by keeping a boarding-house
down-town. This was on the well-known
Keese place, on Broadway. just below Wall
street. Here his food and very' medicine
were paid for by the tho women on whom
he had inflicted mortal injury fifteen years
before. He had no sense of shame or of
gratitude. He was almost universally hated
during his last years, and was really an ob—
ject of pity. I remember being'on an Albany
steamboat one night, and seeing a crouching
form-on deck I went out, and there was Burr
in the cold. I asked him why he did not go
in. He said he was not very cold, but we
went in together. There was Gov. Lewis
Morgan, whom .I saluted. I noticed that ‘
they didn’t speak, so I seated myself be-
tWeen them. Finally Burr rose and moved
off. “Don’t you know Col. Burr ?” I asked
him. “Yes," he said, “I know the d—d
reptile!"
